Due to both concerns over security and domestic obligations, these sites are rarely sites of leisure for women. For this reason, this chapter draws on fifty-three interviews conducted with African Americans and Latinos, mostly men, at public parks and community gardens, and highlights how the men find sanctuary and solace in nature, conviviality, and sociability and engage in practices of belonging that evoke “at home” feelings. The chapter also underscores the theme of sovereignty: public parks and gardens are places where Latino and African American men often remain in distinct locales yet share an ethos of commonality and shared experience.","PeriodicalId":260833,"journal":{"name":"South Central Dreams","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116299836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the authors note that there is a longer history of Black–Brown coalition building than many know, it is also the case that South LA became a key site for building Black political power in Southern California. The demographic changes have contributed to a sense of competition on the part of some Black residents, and the authors rely on interviews with African Americans still living in South L.A. to chart both that sentiment and growing evidence of collaboration. The authors note that there have been major impediments for developing Latino political voice: high shares of undocumented immigrants, low shares of naturalized citizens, and subpar voter participation. The authors not only explore these historical and structural factors but also point to how new dynamic community organizations and the emerging political machine are building on notions of Black–Brown solidarity.","PeriodicalId":260833,"journal":{"name":"South Central Dreams","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123007434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before it became the heart of Black Los Angeles, African Americans were largely shut out of most of what is now South L.A. due to racially restrictive real estate practices, with a tipping point coming in the wake of the 1965 Watts Rebellion. The authors historicize the entry of Latino immigrants in the 1980s and 1990s and lay the groundwork for understanding the ongoing shift in urbanization and civic life, particularly the emergence of Black–Brown place-identified organizing groups as the major motive force in local politics. They then offer a detailed statistical profile of South L.A. (with most data ranging from 1980 to 2016) to provide a backdrop for the qualitative work of the next four substantive chapters.","PeriodicalId":260833,"journal":{"name":"South Central Dreams","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132383772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
